MAY 2014: Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni

This is what I look forward to on my trip to the Fasta Pasta resto:

Since the print is too fine to read, I will repeat the description: 

"fresh pasta tubes filled with ricotta and spinach, oven-baked in a napoli sauce and served with a basil, garlic and cream sauce"

This is how the serving looks before I ate it:

This mm-mmm order was served oven-hot to my little space on the dining table next to my comfy seat. The tubular pasta was fresh and al dente to the bite.  The stuffing of shredded spinach and melted ricotta cheese had a pleasant flavor and texture in the mouth.  The smooth blend of napoli sauce (tomato base) and cream sauce with basil and garlic added extra flavor to the stuffed pasta giving it some moisture and delish to the whole dish.

If you want to give this resto a go, there is no need to make reservations (as I know of for now).  Simply show up and check if there is a table available.  I recommend you to dine there with one or more someones; so that there will be one placing an order at the cashier while the other waits by the preferred table.  Otherwise, it will be-- now you see an empty table, now you see it grabbed and taken.  But if you insist on eating alone, either you will be lucky to have a table for yourself with the given cheerful ambience or better to order at take-out mode and provide your own ambience.

Drinks may go well with this pasta dish.  Some prefer wine or juice or soda drink while I prefer water.  One thing good about water is it helps one appreciate the original flavor of the food.  But then, that is in my humble opinion and personal choice.  The choice of drink is usually based on one's acquired taste.

BUON APPETITO!
